Also released as NIGHTMARE, director Romano Scavolini's deeply disturbing, controversial '80s slasher saga is equal parts TAXI DRIVER, MANIAC and HALLOWEEN. Following his release from a New York psychiatric institution, a “recovered” schizophrenic travels to Florida to murder his ex-wife and children and whoever else gets in his way. Gory special effects co-credited to Tom Savini, despite Savini swearing he had nothing to do with the movie. And yet photos exist of Savini on the set, so who knows where the truth lies? No matter what, NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN is super gross, super scary and super sleazy horror entertainment.
